EB SS

back in the early 90's when production car racing was on, Holden had the VN/VP commodore up against the EA/EB falcons.

Ford brought out an SS EB. It was never advertised. Holden protested and a cams official contacted Ford Public relations about the car. no one in that Dept knew about the car!!!

when questioned about it. ford replied with 'place an order and you will have the car delivered accordingly'

If you want to read about the EB SS its in the november 1993 issue of wheels, the front cover has a red EB XR6 doing a burnout.

Yeah, it's a weird thing british cars did for some reason. Make the intake quieter.
I've never seen it in an escort but have seen it in some old brit marques, so ford UK were copying them maybe?
I recently saw one in an old cold war motors video on a rover, and had to search around for a while to make sure it wasn't a previous owner mod
